In the 17th century, a Jesuit monk, Francesco de Lana-Terzi, conceptualised lighter-than-air-flight. He worried that flying machines would be use for war. He reassured himself that God would not allow it.

1908: Ernest Hives arrived at Rolls-Royce in Derby, saw the shitty weather & considered taking the next train home. He tossed a coin & stayed. He became crucial to the Merlin engine. Drove its rapid development, reliability & mass production. That coin toss was a big deal.

Researching the Hunter, has anything else so lacking innovation, taken so long? The Tejas or J-8 of its time. Guess it had powered controls so that is something

A small number of US pilots defied neutrality laws to fight Nazi Germany during the Battle of Britain. Olympian Billy Fiske was one of these heroes. On 16 Aug 1940, Fiske's Hurricane was hit. He died the next day. He was the first American pilot to be killed in the war.

My Fairey Fulmar book goes on sale today. This was a real labour of love, following on from my biography of Fulmar test pilot Duncan Menzies. It is I believe the first comprehensive history of the type in print www.crowood.com/book/fairey-...
